I did some more work on a "Cargo/Aero Tail".

It's built from a fiberglass bulkhead that I got from Craig Vetter, angle aluminum, and coroplast.

I'm just finishing up the frame right now, and will hopefully be installing the coroplast today.

I moved the tail light and turn signals from the back of the scooter to behind the head-rest. The wire-harness for the lights just exactly reaches there!

The main reason for the tail is really more for cargo than for aerodynamics. I'm leaving in just a few days for a 1,000+ mile trek on my electric motorcycle. I need room for tent and sleeping bag, clothes, big video camera backpack and tripod, etc.

4 Days to Go…
